The appropriate response is Mg2+. It has the smallest radius the would mean the littlest separation from it's the furthest shell to the core 
Since magnesium has one less shell that calcium, Mg would have a little nuclear range. Besides, a particle of a component will have a little nuclear sweep than it's molecule be utilized as a part of its particle frame it has lost a shell

An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium \rm Na atom and a chlorine \rm Cl atom: \rm Na + Cl \to NaCl.

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, \rm Na^{+}. The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion \rm Cl^{-}.

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium \rm Na atom transferred an electron to the chlorine \rm Cl atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt \rm NaCl is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of \rm Na^{+} and \rm Cl^{-} ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.

Answer:

Will likely be the same

Explanation:

We can see in both pictures there is a black molecule and a red molecule. However, we also have a purple molecule in one image and a yellow in the other. It would LIKELY be the same because we have more of the same molecules then more different molecules. Hope this helps
